How did the Gospel Writers write their Gospels?

[George]

Was it based on what they heard or thought? Or was it what they thought was important based on their writings?

The gospelss (Matt, Mark, Luke, John) were first hand accounts as these men were with Jesus but all scripture is written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit

Mark and Luke did not know Jesus personally.

George, the Holy Spirit guided them into their writing. Their personalities were allowed to come through and you can see how Luke's style of writing is attributed to his medical background.

Agreed also in Acts

yes, Luke travelled with Paul and the gospel according to Luke and acts was written by him. Mark's acct is presumably from Peter's remembrance altho it's been debated that he was the young man that ran naked from the garden at Jesus' arrest.

There's some threads on CH that pertain to 4 faces and this ties in well.
Ezekiel 1:10:
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

Matthew represents Jesus as the Lion of Judah in His kingdom. Mark portrays Him as figuratively with the face of an ox, that is, as a Servant. Luke paints Jesus as a man, the "second" Adam. In John, Jesus is figuratively portrayed with the face of an Eagle, the Son of God.

All 4 form the complete picture of Him.
